Empeon Release Notes - November 2021

New!! Introducing Onboarding Templates and File Upload Requests!

Onboarding Templates are now available in Onboarding customizations.

By creating templates, users will be able to choose which cards or documents should be included in an onboarding packet, whether it is an employee or employer task, and whether it is required or not.

With onboarding templates, you can tailor different templates for different departments in order to make sure every department gets the data and documents they need.

One template can be set to primary and all new onboardings will default to that template.

Documents can also be added to templates allowing users to create a collection of documents that will be used based on the template chosen.

New! Onboarding Document Upload Requests

You can now request employees to upload specific documents as part of their onboarding process.

Multiple Document Uploads can be added to each onboarding template. You can set up uploads as required and add links to websites in the upload description to instruct your employees if needed. This is a great opportunity to request Driver’s License, medical records, or any other records needed. Uploads can be set for employee or employer use.

Onboarding - Require employees to enter a direct deposit

We have added the option to require employees to enter a direct deposit to eliminate the option of paper checks.
